that they are very happy with the care and learning opportunities their children receive and the progress they make. They also say the staff are friendly, caring and supportive.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff adapt activities to capture the attention of young children and to help them become engaged in their play. For example, they add small-world figures to water play and real food in the role-play area. Staff provide a variety of opportunities to encourage children's communication and language skills. They read stories with repeated phrases that support the language development of young children and those who are learning to speak English as an additional language. They also use actions to demonstrate the meaning of some words. In addition, children become familiar with some stories and begin to be involved in developing the story lines. Staff provide good opportunities for children to celebrate their achievements. For instance, children show their pride and take pleasure in dressing the Christmas tree with their decorative mobiles.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff create a welcoming and caring environment that helps children to feel emotionally secure and develop a strong sense of belonging. Staff provide good opportunities to help children learn important social skills, such as sharing and taking turns. In addition, children have good opportunities to learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others. Children receive a variety of nutritious snacks, including fresh fruits, crackers and cheese. Staff make good use of mealtimes and activities to help children learn about the importance of healthy foods, including foods from around the world.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children progress well in readiness for their move to school. Children demonstrate their personal independence and they attend to their care needs, make decisions about what they want to eat at snack times and choose when to have a drink. Older children in particular are learning a range of ways to express their feelings. Young children enjoy the experience of making marks. Some older children are able to draw recognisable symbols and write some of the letters in their names.
